Great Thanksgiving Sides

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. The crisper weather of the fall is here, even in the Low Country! Traditional foods are fun, remembering many foods from the original celebration, often healthier than what we may be used to eating!

While the turkey is the center of many tables, we have included vegetarian side dishes so vegetarians (as well as everyone else!) can enjoy an equally wonderful meal.

​

The Maple Cranberry Sauceshown below is one of 9 side course recipes we share below! And of course these recipes are delish all fall and winter long.

Foodie Lit

On her 15th birthday, Brigit Quinn’s mother gives her a large leather journal written by the women in her family, beginning on Sept.19, 1324. As Brigit begins to read, “Part way through my fingers tingled and my room blurred away.” The words change to a visualization with Brigit witnessing what happened to her ancestor. She reads, “If only words you see before ye/Then alas you are not worthy.”

Is Brigit worthy of the gifts she receives? Brigit finds strength within the force of her family and history. As Brigit reads about the crises of her female ancestors, this ancient journal, with a little bit of magic, helps Brigit find her own way.
